I run an 1800TDCi as my everyday and I love it. Drives well, comfortable, well equipped and takes whatever I throw at it. As said, they ain't the quickest thing on planet earth and I'm looking to get mine remapped. Overall, I can't think of any reason not to recommend them. Mine's a '10 plate, bought last September with 18k miles and now up to 33k. I've put four new boots on and replaced a rubber hose in that time.
